Nothing dodgy about this only dodgy thing is why they want him

You think he's crap? Fair enough. I don't particularly rate him either, but I would argue he is better than Gittens and we paid over £50m for that guy.
 
Can’t understand why they haven’t gone for donnaruma. They’re a keeper and top class CB away from being a very very good side

Pace a threat everything else is not there yet! We know this league now it’s about pace! If manager improves his passing his decision making he will be worth it but he is another squad player

I'm thinking if Maresca can get refine his qualities a bit and work on his weaknesses, we might have a decent squad player on our hands. I don't see him as a significant signing or a player I'm excited to watch. I've been opposed to this transfer all summer lol.

He's only just turned 21 though, so maybe there's some potential to be unlocked, who knows. It's a transfer that has left Chelsea fans unenthused and United fans seem pissed that the fee is so low given that Madueke, Elanga and Gittens all went for £50m+
 
Was interested in how many players Chelsea has bought signed last 12 months! It’s pretty mad

It's not surprising. We've signed over 50 players in the last 3 years, so we're averaging about 15-20 signings per year the last 3 years. We've also sold/let go of about 45 players the last 3 years.

It's a massive player trading machine.

Some of these guys will never see the light of day at Chelsea. Like I'm almost 100% certain Kellyman, Wiley, Amougou.

We have a core of players (Caicedo, Colwill, James, Enzo, Palmer, Cucurella) with some potential players to become among the core (Joao Pedro, Estevao, Lavia).

That's about 9 core and potential core players. Would be 10 if we could ever sort our keeper situation out. So overall not a bad situation.

There is just so much noise and upheaval in the rest of the squad. Eventually this kind of spending will have to slow down. It must. I can't see us spending 250m-300m every summer for the foreseeable future.

They’ve don’t it well because the more players you bring in when you have a good am manager who then can find who are the best then ship out the rest for cash

Yes but we won't always be able to sell well. We've done good this summer, and our net spend is close to 0 but what about when we struggle to shift them in the next window or the window after that.

The system basically relies on sales, and being able to shift players on for good fees.

So you're saying something dodgy is happening with the deal, and you're refusing to explain what you think is dodgy about it. Must be something in the waters at Bluemoon.

Oh well. Pleasure talking to you I guess.

There's a player in him somewhere. Maybe he just needs to find a manager that'll find that player.
